Willow Tree® Starry Night Nativity

Artist Susan Lordi designed this Willow Tree® Starry Night Nativity to tell a story and engage the viewer in a small space. All the figurines fit into an 8" box that opens up as a triptych and reveals a starry night encircling the intimate scene of the birth of Christ. Lordi uses deep gradated blues and jewel-like gold as a reference to historical art objects. This nativity's embellished golden surfaces are meant to symbolize light, energy, hope and inner strength. A stunning piece that can be displayed year after year or handed down generation to generation. Place this starry night nativity scene on a table or hang it on a wall. It's meant to be an accent that can be displayed year-round, open or closed. The outside doors reflect nature and the fascinating life cycles of regeneration, renewal and rebirth. Hinged carved resin box with applied gold leaf. Two keyholes for hanging.
